"1 or fewer"...

.. is that a PC way of saying ZERO?

Imagine that in a maths class:

Ok Jimmy, whats 40 - (20+20) ?

1 or fewer, Sir.

Excellent!

Nicodemus | 28 August 2008 - 12:28am

I'm a oner

too!

Chris G | 28 August 2008 - 5:37am

Apparently

99.9% of the 9,149 people in the US with the first name 'Nigel' are male. Or rather were - the stats are based on the 1990 census, so things may have changed. (NB I'm not yet sufficiently awake to subtly avoid gender reassignment ambiguities here. Sorry. My point was leaning more towards the strange American penchant for regendered names, as in Lionel Shriver or Miss Michael Learned.) Anyway, there were 21 with my name there, and it seems my mum and brother were both famous. (No-one tells me anything.)

nigelthebald | 28 August 2008 - 6:59am

Gender swapping names

Yes and have you noticed he trend in recent years for blokes names to become women's names. Remember when Joe, Sam, Billy, Chris, Nicky, Jamie were boy's names? Not anymore they're not. And what do we get in return? Kelly (or Kele if you're a Bloc Party fan), and that's about it.

Niks | 28 August 2008 - 8:47am

To be fair

I don't think I've seen 'Niks' as a male diminuative before, so you've gained yourself.

Gatz | 28 August 2008 - 8:52am

I just had to look up the meaning of diminutive...

...before I understood that. And also discovered the words hypocoristic (similar thing, shortened version of a longer name, eg Tony) and Apocopation (cutting off the final syllables in a word, eg photo or anime).
Now I'll get on with some work I think.

I know one of them's a state trooper in Maine...

But it's all guess-work anyway: "The program returns an estimate based on available data. It should be considered a "ballpark figure". It will usually return an answer in the right general area, but the chances of the figure being exactly right are very low." (http://www.howmanyofme.com/faq/)

667 to be exact.

I couldn't help but wonder : is Bob Clampett one of the lesser-known Beverly Hillbillies?

Unique

While there are over 1000 people who share either my first or last name, it would appear there is only 1 or less who shares both.

Riccardo Gargiulo | 28 August 2008 - 9:51am

Handsomes and Wonderfuls

Surprisingly, there are fewer than 1,525 people in the USA with a first name of Handsome and fewer than 335 with a surname of Wonderful. Only 1 or less who shares both and it's not me.

I always assumed "famous" implied "non-fictional".

Is this coincidence or is this website having us on?

Backwards, you have got exactly the same results as I did (see further up this post - 'Handsomes and Wonderfuls'). Methinks this website is perhaps not as clever as it appears.
